Happy Juneteenth! ❤️💛💚🖤 Today, we honor freedom, remember the resilience of those who came before us, and celebrate the rich history, culture, and contributions of African American communities. Juneteenth is a reminder that freedom is worth celebrating, history is worth remembering, and justice is a promise we must continue working toward—together.

🎓 Congratulations to Larry B. Sanchez Scholarship Recipient, Jazmin! 🎓

Raised in a farmworking family in the rural Treasure Valley, Jazmin was inspired by her parents’ hard work and sacrifices to pursue higher education and give back to her community.

Jazmin is attending The College of Idaho, where she is studying Biomedical Science. Her goal is to become a Physician Assistant and provide quality healthcare to underserved and Spanish-speaking communities.

We are proud to support Jazmin through the Larry B. Sanchez Scholarship and look forward to all she will accomplish!

🎓 Congratulations to Larry B. Sanchez Scholarship Recipient, Alondra! 🎓
